Then I got the small silver box…
Those of you with elephantine memories may recall this contest that closed on December 23rd last year.
At the time, I was crossing my fingers that we would get “five boxes in total which will hopefully include at least two or three signed sets.” …And that’s what we got. Five sets…three of which are signed.
You may remember that the contest was a three-parter based on the first album in the set: 1. Outside, and more specifically, THE DIARY of NATHAN ADLER, that accompanied the “non-linear Gothic Drama Hyper-cycle”.
So, before I get on to the winners, here are the three questions we set with the answers you needed to be in with a chance…

Q3 – It was conclusively proved that the cow in the foreground of the painting above could not differentiate between what and what?
A3 – The cow in Mark Tansey’s “The Innocent Eye Test” could not differentiate between Paulus Potter’s “The Young Bull” and one of Monet’s grain stack paintings.

For the record, you didn’t have to be word perfect, as long as your answers contained the general gist of those above, you were in with a chance.
In the event, the five members below were lovingly plucked from The Random Selector’s virtual hat.

The first three in the list each win a signed box and the remaining two will receive unsigned boxes.
I should point out that the signed boxes have sustained some slight damage in transit, so if you three would rather an unsigned sealed version in absolutely mint condition then please speak up now.
Either way, if all five of you could please forward your names and addresses, we’ll have these wonderful prizes out to you shortly.
